Pocket PC App Performance Enhancement

[vijaynats]

We are developing a bulky Pocket PC 2003 Application using .NET CF in
VB.NET as a Windows App - The resulting App is very slow when it comes
to Loading and Unloading of Forms and Display of GUI elements inside
TabPages.

Kindly throw some light on the following -

1. Whats the maximum number of Controls that can be added to a Form

2. How to speed up the following -

Form.Show()
Form.Hide()

Form.Close()
Form.New()

Is any kind of buffering is possible for Show() and Hide() ? We are
already not calling Close() function for forms as it bogs down the app.

Links on performance optimization for .NET PDA applications would be
great!

Many Thanks!

In addition to the tips in the MSDN article, you will generally get better
performance using CF 2.0 if you aren't already.
